spring is generally more powerful than an electric, if the electric is not an AEG. the AEG's are powerful electrics. but an any case the electrics let you shoot in full auto, which is always fun!



but i would suggest for a serious airsofter, a co2 powered pistol. they're mighty powerful and some go full auto. in semi they are dead accurate, and it is just fun to see the gas fog coming out of the barrel. plus they're usually heavy like real guns.



it also depends on what you plan to use the gun for. jutss some indoor plinking, mini electric or low power spring. outside target practice or airsoft wars, high power spring, AEG or co2 gun. i never recommend green gas, because they are just like co2 except without the power.



in the end it is up to your personal taste.

LOL, the electrics work off the same principle as the springs. You can easily get both to outshoot each other; it just depends on how strong of a spring you have in each.

The gas guns are cr@p. You waste so much money on gas (well airsoft guns are a pretty big waste of money, way to overpriced) where a spring or electric could do so much better and cheaper. The seals can easily break, and a spring will outshoot a gas in velocity any day (why do you think the high powered air rifles use springs instead of gas?). LOL, please tell me you're joking about the accuracy part, I mean any airsoft gun with hop up is going to be just as accurate as the next. Airsoft guns shoot plastic BBs out of a smooth bore, meaning there is no chance for accuracy. The BBs will go off in every direction because of the fact that you can't stabilize it or put a very reliable spin on it (yes, even hop up doesn't work to well).
